Indignation at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July THE Presidents letter
stirred up a hot and diversified expression
of opinion. The committee that took the
invitation to the President strongly de-
nounce the men instrumental in the defeat of
their plan. Their friends are equally dis
pleased, especially the citizens who had made
great effort to induce the President to make
the visit The chagrin was so great that many
wished TO organize Immediately to invite the
Grand Army to find another place for their
encampment. Some promised very
ley reception to the soldiers. Many Others,
however, who saw the wisdom of the Pres
idents course and were pleased that the city
had been relieved Of what promised to be an
unpleasant affair. They felt that the city
has been Inundated, and are indignant, but
agree that the Grand Army Encampment
shall be a success, and at some other time
the President shall have q reception in keep
ing with the high Office he holds.
The citizens committee determined to
take some immediate steps and at o'clock
assembled in the Office of Mayor Francis
and discussed the situation. A committee
was appointed to draw up resolutions to be
submitted to mass meeting of the citizens
at the Merchants Exchange tomorrow after
noon. They will embody an invitation to
the President to visit the city during fair
Week-early In OctOber,-or at some other
time that will suit his convenience, and will
promise him an enthusiastic reception A
citizens committee will then be appointed to
again visit the President and endeayOr to
induce him to come.
